Because of some limitations in the Amazon affiliate program, there aren't any exact prices listed. This is because the price of the item might change between when the article was published and when the item might be purchased.

Our hoverboards both support up to 264 lbs (though UL cert. is only for up to 220 lbs). Therefore, although they're not the greatest of the bunch, it may still be worth adding our boards into the comparison on that page. Either just a couple call-to-action blurbs or actually include our products in the comparison. We could stress that "if you weigh less than 264 lbs, these hoverboards from ScooterEra are the some of the sleekest and highest-quality on the market".

Replacement Chassis and Frames.

Replacement Chassis For a Hoverboard

This is a replacement frame or chassis for a self-balancing scooter. You will need this if your hoverboard has broken into two separate parts. To replace the frame is a relatively straightforward process.

Gold Replacement Hoverboard Skin and Frame

You can now show off your baller status with this GOLD CHROME shell for your hoverboard. For as innovative as self-balancing scooters have been, inside they are surprisingly simple. That simplicity is why so many of the different brands seem the same. (That, and the fact that all the companies copied and "borrowed" designs from each other) The steps to replace your hoverboard shell are unscrew all the screws (18 of them). Gently remove the outer casing. Watch out; there are wires connected to the piece of shell that you are removing. Once you have the insides exposed, unscrew the screws along the outside edge INSIDE the hoverboard. These are the screws that are holding the top of the hoverboard shell to your frame.

Now you should have the whole shell unscrewed, gently remove it and reverse these steps to install the new casing. Now, you should have a gold shell for your hoverboard. If you're the DIY type, and you wanted a gold chrome hoverboard, this might be the best option for you. Especially since many of the hoverboard brands charge a premium for a gold hoverboard.

Similar to the gold shell previously mentioned, this is a chrome pink hoverboard skin and internal frame. This is a kit that includes a new metal frame for your self-balancing scooter, along with a pink skin to go with it.

Hoverboard Skins, Shells, and Other Protections

You just paid all this money to purchase your hoverboard, and then after riding it for the first time, you saw a ton of scratches on the bottom. Don't worry; you're not alone. It seems that this happens with EVERY brand of hoverboard. So, how do you fix the scratches along the bottom of your self-balancing scooter? It's easy...

There are a few products here offering differing levels of protection for your hoverboard. One of the first are these vinyl hoverboard stickers. These are an eight mil film that was originally used by car makers to protect their cars from flying rocks while driving. Now you can apply that same technology to your hoverboard.

While this is a different brand of hoverboard sticker than the ones above (It's sold in the UK), the concept is the same. To apply a hoverboard decal, you just need some alcohol wipes and a hair dryer.

Replacement Bumpers

Self Balancing Scooter Bumpers

These are the black rubber bumpers that help to protect your hoverboard from scratches and scrapes. The adhesive that glued them down isn't a very good one, and they tend to get lost while riding. These are very easy to use. Just peel the old one off, gently scrape and remaining adhesive off. Then using an alcohol wipe clean the area where you are going to stick the new bumper. After it dries, stick your new bumper on, Voila!

Hoverboard Replacement Cover

If the shell to your hoverboard is too scratched up to be easily covered by a sticker, for a few dollars more you can get a complete shell. There are tons of different colors and styles to choose from. Below, are just two that I saw and liked. If you click on one of the items below, it will take you to the site and at the bottom of the page, you'll be able to see the different styles. These are the fancier, premium painted styles that you might not have seen.

Protective Silicone Case for Hoverboards

This is a brand new item that I just found online. It makes sense when you think about it. You can now find a silicone protective case for your hoverboard. If you've ever gotten a case for your phone, this is the same concept, only scaled up to fit a hoverboard. The case is stretched over the outside of the hoverboard, and small tabs clasp onto the screw holes on the bottom of the hoverboard. One of the neat things about the way that these are designed is that you get two cases. One for the left, and one for the right. Mix and match to find the perfect style for you.

There is a drawback to this case, though. It does only protect the top of the hoverboard. The bottom will still be scratched during use.

Summary: Just like your cell phone has a silicone case to protect it from drops and scratches, now your self-balancing scooter can too. This silicone case slips onto your hoverboard and protects it from wayward scratches and dings. Available in multiple colors. Feature 1: 2.Keep the self-balancing scooter from scratches

Replacement A/C Adapters

Replacement chargers. I could write a whole post on them, but these are the things to look for.

Look for the CE or UL logos on them. This means that it has passed certification tests that it should operate as expected. THIS IS IMPORTANT! With hoverboards having the problem of randomly catching on fire, you want to limit over-stressing the battery. A UL-certified charger for a hoverboard will do exactly that.

Don't buy a cheap one. The more expensive versions have better insulation and components, again so that it charges things more safely.

Feature 2: High-quality plastic and built-in intelligent IC allow auto-detect, self-adjust current control, charge for your self-balance scooter.With the protection of over voltages, over current, short circuits and over temperature, bring much safety on your scooter.

Also, make sure that the charger is rated at the proper voltage and current. For today's hoverboards with a 158 WH battery, you should have a 42V 2A power adapter. Your battery might also be called a 36 W 4.4 A battery or 36 W 4400 mA. All of these are terms that describe the same battery.

Here're Some Videos To Help With Common Hoverboard Problems

Until I get a few of my hoverboard troubleshooting and DIY repair videos made, I'll have to use these videos from YouTube. I've sat through all the horrible videos and have only kept the good ones. Stay tuned for Part 2 of my Hoverboard Replacement Parts post. Inside it, I will have all the circuit boards and electrical components that you might need.
